Pumped storage is of two types: on river and off river. On-river is like any hydroelectric project supplied by a river. Existing hydro projects could become pumped storage. Off-river projects are those that have two reservoirs at two different levels to which the water is pumped up or falls down to under gravity in a closed loop.
